From 96891ceedaeaac95aa5b9dba5e68a8e77d541e78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fenghua Yu Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:54:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: dma mapping read and write changes When iwlwifi runs on IOMMU, IOMMU generates a lot of PTE write faults because PTE write bit is not set on some of PTE's. This is because iwlwifi driver calls DMA mapping with PCI_DMA_TODEVICE which is read only in mapping PTE. But iwlwifi device actually writes to the mapped page to update its contents. This issue is not exposed in swiotlb. But VT-d hardware can capture this fault and stop the fault transaction. The iwl TX command contains a scratch field that is updated by uCode to indicate retry counts. For 5000 series the patch is required also for regular frames, but this patch does not differenciate.
